Complications in the patellofemoral joint (PFJ), such as pain and early osteoarthritis, are common following ACLR. Despite these concerns, post-ACLR PFJ biomechanics remain insufficiently studied. This study aimed to explore the influence of ACLR surgical parameters and subject-specific factors (i.e., knee phenotype, neuromusculoskeletal function) on PFJ biomechanics using an in-silico neuromusculoskeletal (NMSK)-finite element (FE) modeling approach. Three subject-specific NMSK-FE models were used to simulate the effects of four surgical parameters (graft type, size, location, and pre-tension) on PFJ biomechanics (kinematics and cartilage stresses) during walking. Additionally, ACL-deficient (ACLD) models were included to compare PFJ biomechanics in the absence of ACLR. Each surgical combination and ACLD were compared to a corresponding intact knee. Normalized root-mean-square error (nRMSE) quantified deviations in PFJ biomechanics among ACLR, ACLD, and intact knees. PFJ biomechanics in ACLD knees consistently deviated more from intact knees than those in ACLR models, underscoring the restorative effect of reconstruction. Most ACLR surgical combinations restored PFJ kinematics and stress to near intact levels (nRMSE &lt; 10 %) for two participants. In contrast, ∼80.2 % of combinations resulted in substantial deviations (nRMSE &gt; 10 %) for one participant, potentially increasing the risk of cartilage degeneration. Subject-specific factors influenced PFJ outcomes but showed no consistent trends. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating individualized geometry and loading in simulations to optimize ACLR for biomechanical outcomes. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of surgical parameter effects on paediatric PFJ biomechanics following ACLR.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomechanics","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 112924"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144889307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The normalized symmetry index of stance-phase kinematics was analyzed via statistical parametric mapping to compare pre- and post-race asymmetry.

This study determines how children and adults modulate APAs and the MoS during GI, with and without obstacles. The participants included 56 typically developing children (3–16 years) and 20 healthy young adults (19–24 years). The obstacle was placed at a distance equivalent to 50 % of the first step length of the participant, and its height was set to 10 % of the leg length. Kinematic and force plate data were collected to calculate the APA onset (APAonset) and peak (APApeak) in the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions and MoS in both directions. Children exhibited delayed APAonset and larger APApeak values than adults. Adults exhibited a greater decrease in MoS<sub>AP</sub> during GIObs than during GI, whereas children maintained a significantly larger MoS<sub>ML</sub> during GIObs. The step length was longer in GIObs than in GI, with no significant difference in clearance height between the groups. Compared with adults, children exhibited delayed APA onset, higher APA amplitude, and larger MoS<sub>ML</sub> during GIObs, indicating a more conservative approach to enhance lateral stability, possibly reflecting an adaptive strategy that aligns with their developing neuromotor control. These findings contribute to understanding the developmental trajectory of dynamic balance control and can inform age-appropriate interventions to support balance control in pediatric populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomechanics","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 112908"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144866042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
